That's a wrap on another year of work experience at CRUSH!

Over the past few weeks, we've welcomed arts and media students into the studio, giving them the chance to experience the world of brand and design IRL.

This reel captures just a snippet of the talent we saw over each of their week's with us. Dutifully mentored by junior designer and illustrator, Naomi, one thing that stood out amongst all of the students was their progress over the time they spent with us.

One student even reached out to tell us she no longer has any interest in any career but design!

We've written more about it all in our latest article: https://ow.ly/g01i50ZqGs9

The winners of the CRUSH World Cup Sweepstake are in!

First up, congratulations to Bea for winning with Spain 🇪🇸

2nd place goes to Rebecca with everyone's favourite team, Argentina.

3rd place goes to Natalie with everyone's *actual* favourite team, Ingurlund!

And last, but certainly not least, champion of the Worst Cup goes to Will with his lowest ranked team, Paraguay (Ranked 40th) making it the furthest in the tournament.

That was fun. See you all in two years for the Euros 👋

A brand story rooted in people, and place.

Derbyshire County Council's Heartwood Community Forest has been bringing landowners, farmers and communities together to create a woodland for the region since 2023.

But despite having planted over 120,000 (and counting) trees to date, their stories were going untold, and their achievements unnoticed.

We helped them change that.

Through brand strategy that encompasses exactly who they are and why they exist; a visual identity that brings their brand idea to life; and a website that empowers landowners to get involved.

To those that find LinkedIn awkward, fake and even a little overwhelming – we have some good news for you.

It's all changing.

In an algorithm overhaul that marks the platform's biggest ever transformation, LinkedIn is moving away from the corporate sales talk and forced positivity that its become known for.

Instead, it wants to encourage authenticity.

People and professionalism, over brand and business.
Real stories, over ads and clickbait sales posts.
Originality, over AI-generated templates.

Proof that B2B doesn't have to mean Bland to Boring.

A sneak peek of new project we've launched recently… 🌳

We are delighted to have given Derbyshire County Council's Heartwood Community Forest a fresh new brand identity, backed by a strategy rooted in its core values and mission to plant a future forest for Derbyshire.

As part of the project, we’ve also designed and built the Heartwood website, bringing the new brand to life through the magic of motion and UX design: heartwoodcommunityforest.co.uk

Full case study coming soon, but for now… enjoy this little taster.

Some of the most resilient, creative and successful businesses start with just one person, striking out on their own.

CRUSH certainly did.

That's why we're delighted to share that we will be sponsoring the Sole Trader of the Year award at the Chesterfield Business Awards next month, championing entrepreneurs behind sole trader businesses in the region.

We look forward to presenting the award the worthy winner on the night 👏

Named in Campaign Magazine UK's 40 over 40!

We are so thrilled to share that Natalie Burkinshaw has been listed in this year’s 40 over 40 awards, which recognises 40 people aged 40 and above from the creative community.

Judges of the awards noted:

“Natalie has challenged assumptions about who leads serious brand work, which sectors value it, and where it can be delivered. She proved that complex B2B industries could benefit from strategic design beyond London and outside the usual tech-sector playbook.”

This recognition is a testament not just to Natalie's talent as a creative director and entrepreneur, but to the culture she has built at CRUSH. We couldn’t be prouder!
